Does Barry have a man at the BBC?

[Will]

I spotted this little article at BBC News, and as always when I see an article about online gaming there, a link to Barrysworld was to the right of the article.

Is there an inside man who slips these links in? The article had nothing to do with Barrysworld.

Though advertising is certainly a good thing.

Unfortunately not, although there have been a number of good "eSports" articles recently on the BBC site, most of them written by the same person who seems to have a good understanding of Online gaming (as opposed to Bodhi's understanding of it).

I have a sneaking suspicion he might be a member.

ooh well done! unexpected airtime is as good as any

 

[dysfunction]

There are a few journo's on the DVD Forums and Barry's has had a bit of "advertising" there so perhaps one of them might have slipped the link in...

THEY ARE!??!

Oh no the bf42 ones are still down.

 

[S-Gray]

shame... argh!

 

[Will]

Arrgh? They are down a lot of the time, I thought everyone had got used to this.

Disclaimer : I am aware these servers aren't automated, but its getting silly

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

For 'down a lot of the time' read down more than they are up, which considering rival companies can keep theirs up pretty much 24/7 without charging really makes me wonder if holding out for bookables or barryservers is the best idea.

 

[Embattle]

Whats that now, about 2 weeks they've been down now.

 

[Yaka]

shame really i havent actually pld Bf1942 proper since it came out coz servers when they were up were empty

 

[bigfoot]

Oh look, somebody actually sent in a support form saying they were down and they were back up within 20 mins of the form being looked at.

 

[Clowneh!]

The BBC always has gazillions of EverQuest articles

Even when DAOC and all those hundreds of other MMORPGS are plainly better.

Thats because the BBC are biased towards new labour and we all know why john prescott is so fat dont we?

Yes, thats because he's a lazy cunt who sits on his arse and plays EQ all day.
